TracEx: Understanding and Analyzing Database Traces
Summary: Introduces TracEx, an open-source visual trace-exploration tool that ingests high-level DBaaS traces to analyze workloads along rich feature dimensions (resource utilization, operator usage). Enables interactive analysis and direct comparison of traces across hardware configurations and different DB systems for monitoring and regression testing. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
